My Students

My students are critical thinkers who want more! Some students have had limited exposure to persevering through problem-solving and working together. They need support to thrive. They are willing to reflect, ask questions, and make mistakes.

These avid investigators are learning how to navigate the world they were given.

Every day, these students show that learning, despite challenges, is possible. They may not have made their goals yet, but they continue to amaze me with their willingness to keep moving forward.

My Project

The material will help students with basic hygiene. Students need to wipe their noses and wipe their hands. The materials will also help students to have basic school materials to use at school and home, like pencils. Students can help keep our classroom neat, clean, and ready for learning. Students will also have pocket folders for homework. This is an easy way for parents to identify what work needs to be practiced at home. Having basic items to start off the school year will help to shift the focus on more important things.
